Once you indicate that you want internal transfer during appraisal by ticking internal mobility, your job will be posted internally for others to apply. If you cannot find an internal job before your boss finds your replacement, your replacement can replace you and you will be parked under special project. You do not know what you'll be doing under special project and first to go if there is retrenchment, causing undue stress. It is also not clearly communicated as the aforesaid conditions are not spelled out in the appraisal form when one ticks and signs internal mobility. It is crucial to spell out such onerous conditions as every candidate deserves the right to be reminded so as to make an informed decision. Also, one doesn't need to tick internal mobility and can still apply internal jobs and enjoy pari passu, so it doesn't make sense to tick at all. Ticking mobility will only benefit: i) your N+1 who may be eager to find someone to understudy and replace you especially if your N+1 is not familiar with your work which is not uncommon; and ii) talent developers whose job is to move people around despite the associated turnover of the policy. Maybe the intent of this “innovative” policy is good but it has many question marks and shouldn’t take employee’s job as a game of cards.
